Since he scored 3 points in 4 games after joining the Flames, I'm fully expecting those numbers to extrapolate over a full 82 game season and we'll have a 62 point player for under $1 million. You're a genius Treliving!

Can't wait for Iginla to sign with any team but the Flames or announce retirement so all of these people wishing for or speculating his return will just stop. As has been stated several times, he has no interest in signing here. This was mentioned in an interview with Treliving shortly after he was traded to the Kings.

Again, it has been confirmed that Iginla has expressed interest to the Flames in coming back this offseason.
I've heard the same thing from 2 separate people with different sources myself. Yappin Tappin is one of those people, who posted in the Iginla thread. Another said he heard Iggy was talking to Boston and Calgary last he heard.

Apologies as I must've missed that update. I've avoided the Iginla thread for awhile now. I'm definitely the "don't read it if you're not interested or it upsets you" type. Just gets overbearing seeing the same theme of acquiring him in nearly every thread that talks about trades or cap space etc.

Sure, I get that. But a lot of people for better or worse are understandably excited at the possibility of Iginla playing a swan-song season in Calgary.
*EDIT* As I typed this I suddenly realized that I am in the Lazar thread! Perhaps people are getting carried away.

Why would he be talking to Boston? I understand he built a home there but I thought he wanted to play for a playoff team? Boston is far from a sure thing in that aspect.
Great deal. Hoping Bennett's deal is longer than 2 years, will be in tough if all three of these guys have decent seasons and need to be re-upped at the same time.
From a downside mitigation perspective, having Bennett's deal line is pretty ideal. In two years, you can re-evaluate the group, and allocate cap space accordingly.
If you sign Bennett long term (at 'paying for potential' rates), he stagnates, and Lazar blossoms, you're kind of screwed.
There is, however some advantage to having Bennett signed longer term, if we are not maxing out our cap this year, to trade present cap space for future cap space... even if he falls short of progressing at the expected rates suggested by his contract value..
A 1 year <1M deal would have been a good deal. The extra year makes it a great deal, since I can't see him performing any worse than a replacement-level plug playing for the league minimum, and the potential upside is considerable.
